Why is it necessary to have a fire pump?
A fire pump is needed when the local water supply system is unable to provide enough pressure to meet the hydraulic requirements of a fire sprinkler system. This usually happens if buildings are tall, such as in tall buildings, or in systems that require large amounts of water, such as in warehouses. A fire pump is required if sprinkler system water is supplied from a water tank.

How does a fire pump work?
The fire pump is driven by an electric motor or diesel engine. If local building codes require power independent of the local grid. An electric motor powered pump may use a transfer switch that delivers power to the emergency generator in the event of a power failure.

The fire pump begins when the tension in the fire sprinkler framework dips under the edge. The pressure of the sprinkler system is greatly reduced when one or more sprinklers are activated. or when other fire connections are on. cause pressure drop
The types of pumps used for fire service are horizontal split housings. vertical split case vertical inline vertical turbine and end attractions
A Allied pump is a small pump connected to a fire sprinkler system in parallel with a fire pump. This will maintain the pressure in the fire protection piping system at an unreal level. Therefore, the operation of a single fire sprinkler will produce a valuable pressure drop. which the automatic control of the fire pump is easy to detect causing the fire pump to start working The Allied pump is part of the fire pump control system.
Fire pump installations and improvements are governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) NFPA 20 standard for stationary fire pump installations for fire protection.
